Re: deboy69 310 Gallon-ish easier to ask for forgiveness than permission build
Need some suggestions of others trial and error. I am going to be enclosing my fish room and framing it in shortly. Any suggestions on what to use and what not to use for anything.?
The cement walls will be framed and items will be permanently secured and I was thinking insulation too. Also it's going to double as a furnace room.

Deffinatly go with FRP boards, they are the one thing I wish I did. If you have the extra $ I would also go with pressure treated studs to avoid mold from high humidity. Using high density foam on concrete walls is more efficient that fiber glass but will not be as affordable. If you don't have a dunk already plumbed into your fish room do it!! I love my sink almost as much as my tank lol

Dbarnes is right- the utility sink in my fish room is fantastic. All sorts of things go into that sink that I wouldn't allow anywhere near my kitchen sink. As far as the building materials go, the absolute best thing is the tile floor- means zero stress of any kind. No mold or mildew, easy to clean, etc. If I had it to do over again, I'd tile the walls in there, too.

HA! Jealous? No way!
It really has been a huge change from what you saw when you came to help me with the reefkeeper, thanks to what Austin did with the electrical, and Michael did with the plumbing. He's got one last thing to do- plumb a drainpipe straight from the sump into the sewer line. That will mean water changes consist of a turn of a valve, and hitting a power button. Insanely easy.
